Food Festivals & Food Events in Mumbai
5 events matching right now across Mumbai — mostly nightlife (3), food (2).
The events below are the food festivals, pop-ups, tastings and food walks coming up in Mumbai, refreshed daily. The outdoor season runs from October to February, when the weather allows open-air festivals at grounds and gardens in Bandra, BKC, Lower Parel and Powai. A recent example is SALT (Shop. Eat. Drink. Learn.), held at Pioneer Hall and Corona Garden in Bandra West on 10–11 October 2026 with entry at ₹699. Restaurants and bars add their own regional food festivals, chef collaborations and bar takeovers through the year. Mumbai's food calendar also follows its communities: Koli seafood festivals in fishing villages such as Versova are usually held in winter, the lanes off Mohammed Ali Road fill with stalls on Ramzan nights, Bandra's bakeries are busiest before Christmas, and Parsi, Gujarati and Maharashtrian kitchens mark their new years with special menus. Guided food walks cover the khau gallis of Ghatkopar, Mahim and Zaveri Bazaar, the Irani cafés of Fort and the street food of Girgaon Chowpatty. In the monsoon the scene moves indoors to tasting menus, supper clubs and workshops. This page lists food festivals, food and drink pop-ups, tastings and food walks across Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai.

- Entry tickets at most food festivals cover admission only; budget separately for what you eat and drink.
- Go early on the first day for the shortest queues, or late on Sunday when some stalls discount what is left.
- Open-air festivals are cashless more often than not, but carry some cash for small stalls.
- For food walks in the old city, go on a weekday evening and wear shoes you can stand in for three hours.
- Check whether alcohol is served; if it is, the event is usually 21 and over and IDs are checked.
